A snap taken by NASA’s Curiosity rover shows a bizarre rock that could be evidence Mars was once home to water – but the scientific discovery has been quickly mocked on Twitter for looking like a dildo.
Freelance space expert Paul Scott Anderson uploaded a picture of the Martian geology find to the site to trigger scientific discussion.
But the rock was ridiculed on Twitter by people who said it looked like a sex toy.
One user joked: “I recognize that – it’s a Martian female pleasure device – must have been dropped.”
Whilst another labelled it as a “Martian pleasure stimulator device”.
But not everyone on the platform agreed with its explicit look-a-like and some reckoned it actually resembled a pair of alien high-heeled shoes.
One person commented: “A Martian shoehorn! Now at least we know the shape of their foot” whilst another claimed: “That’s an alien high heel”.
But the real reason for the rock’s smooth shape could be much more exciting, boffins say.
It could be down to the planet once housing water and having huge crater lakes billions of years ago.

The rock could have been formed by water spilling over from the lakes to carve the huge valleys that remain on the surface today.
But even with all the discussion surrounding alien dildos and high-heeled shoes, the replies to the tweet got weirder still as a company claimed they owned the image of the rock as an NFT.
A letter sent to Anderson after his post claims they have “reserved all rights to the rock” and says he should delete the picture – even though it was made publicly available by NASA.
Last month, claims that Mars houses alien life were boosted when a UFO conspiracy theorist spotted an alien figure watching over the Mars rover.
Self-professed expert Scott C. Waring said the sight was "100% proof of intelligent life" after catching a glimpse of the “foot-tall” being with a pink body from his home in Taiwan.
